Read MoreJohn had a huge influence in my childhood with the places he and Rosemary would take myself and cousin David, whether it was Gettysburgh, or Valley Forge, in the middle of winter, or the best was N. Wildwood with the family, he treated me like a younger brother. He was our quarterback and bowling instructor. You are and will always be missed. Thanks John! Rest in Peace
